Sounds like either a pretty bad vacuum leak, or your IAC is failing. I'd try to get it to hang at the high rpm, then tap the IAC with something fairly solid. If it's hanging up, that percussive maintenance should knock it closed and your idle will return to normal.

Do you have an aftermarket throttle body by chance? My old cobra did exactly what you mentioned (if not worse) when I put a BBK TB on it.
